Connection

In a world that can sometimes feel disconnected, this piece was created as a reminder that we are not meant to walk alone. we are shaped by the hand that hold us, voices that encourages us, and the communities that gather around us. Without those connections, we lose depth, warmth and meaning. With them, we thrive.

The bright, interlinked strokes and tones speak to the way we lift each other in difficult seasons, how we steady one another when life feels uncertain, and how joy expands when it is shared. No colour stands alone for long. They overlap, blend and build just like us. Stronger together. Brighter together. Better together.

Kerry Evitts is a British-born, Melbourne-based painter, designer, psychotherapist and mother. Kerry’s paintings are vibrant and full of life, bursting with happiness and strength. Her work is a symbolic expression of the power of the mind to embrace an optimistic outlook. Kerry believes in creating a synergy between her art and its audience; imbuing her art with her positive energy to draw a positive audience.

Kerry was creative from an early age and has always drawn peace and a sense of recalibration through artistic pursuits. As a troubled teenager Kerry found solace experimenting with new techniques and mediums, eventually managing to draw herself out of the darkest pits of depression. The unbridled joy in Kerry’s work stems from the fact that in a very real sense art has saved her life.

After emigrating to Australia at 18, Kerry’s love of helping others led her to studying and working as a psychotherapist for many years. With the birth of her three children, Kerry found herself returning to art to rediscover herself and manage her mental health. Joyful and joy-inducing, Kerry’s work is inspired by the subconscious minds as well as colour and the natural world.
